All-American Poem Quotes

“I've hurt you. I've loved you. I've mowed the front yard.”
― Matthew Dickman, All-American Poem

“When I dance with him,
one of my great loves, he is absolutely human,
and when he turns to dip me
or I step on his foot because we are both leading,
I know that one of us will die first and the other will suffer.
The slow dance of what’s to come
and the slow dance of insomnia
pouring across the floor like bath water.”
― Matthew Dickman, All-American Poem

“I know a man who loves tanks so much
he wishes he had one
to pick up the groceries, drive
his wife to work, drop his daughter off
at school with her Little Mermaid
lunch box, a note
hidden inside, next to the apple, folded
with a love that can be translated into any language: I hope
you do not suffer.”
― Matthew Dickman, All-American Poem
